We were delighted to welcome three local councillors to the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre on Saturday 24th of May, for the official opening of our brand new accessible toilet block.
The ‘new loos’ are located alongside the bus garage and model railway cabin and have cost almost one hundred thousand pounds to build. The majority of the funding has come from the Rural England Prosperity Fund via Rushcliffe Borough Council.
The Rural England Prosperity Fund grant was added to by East Midlands Airport Community Fund, East Midlands Railway Community Fund, Crosscountry Trains Communities Fund, Friends of the Great Central Main Line, the Nottingham Society of Model and Experimental Engineers, contributions from the budgets of Councillors Matt Barney and Reg Adair and a public appeal.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the project which marks a major step forward in the facilities we can offer to our visitors.
